KUWAIT: The newly launched 'Area Development' project aims at developing parks and public areas in Rawda. It will be then implemented at other areas, especially since Municipality has set aside a budget for social, environmental, and cultural development. Nouriya Al-Sedani, a political activist launched the project at Rawda on Monday, in the presence of MP Naji Abdul Hadi, Vice President of Kuwait Engineers Society, and Al-Yarmouk Mayor Abdul Aziz Al-Mashari, and Mohammad Al-Sanousi.
Al-Sedani explained that the some stake holders from Rawda co-operative society will provide funding for the project. She expressed hope that the project would not stir up political controversy and highlighted the present situation of the country's public gardens and streets in Rawda's residential area.
MP Naji Abdul Hadi emphasized the importance of supporting such ventures. On behalf of the Kuwait Engineers Society, he announced that all engineers were ready to volunteer and supervise the execution of all infrastructure-related work in the country. He addressed residents and said that the medical center project can be accomplished if the concerned bodies display more cooperation.
Al-Yarmouk Mayor Abdul Aziz Al-Mashari spoke about Al-Yarmouk Municipality's experience in serving the residents of the area. The next speaker, Mohammad Al-Sanousi spoke about prevailing negative attitude towards such campaigns. He added that when the issue concerns human beings, it should be treated in a serious manner. " Kuwaiti citizens should have morals instilled in them, including proper culture and education," he said.
Al-Sanousi added that team work and innovation are essential, and that many activities follow the political path to support vested interest groups. "Rawda is home to eight former ministers and we should think about benefitting from this fact," he said. Al-Sanousi concluded by saying that the project launched in Rawda is more important than the work undertaken by any parliamentary committee.
